No, you aren't seeing things and yes, Gwyneth Paltrow did order a cell phone with a $22,000 price tag.

This new line of phones is offered by Vertu, a subsidiary of mobile phone giant Nokia. The handsets come in your choice of five casings: stainless steel, stainless steel with gold on the keypad, 18-carat gold, white gold or platinum.

One of the features the company hopes will turn on the stars is a special "concierge" button. All the user has to do is push a button to their personal operator. They can request anything from local information to reservations at the swankiest place in town.

That is quite a little Possession...
